Apparently the rdiff-backup modules didn't get installed in your
python path.  Where is the rdiff_backup directory (it should contain
files like Main.py, rpath.py, etc.)?  If it is /foo/bar, you can add
that to your path when running rdiff-backup by:

PYTHONPATH=/foo/bar rdiff-backup

Or, if you'd prefer to move these files into your pythonpath, type:

~ $ python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Jun 14 2002, 21:57:22) 
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path

to see what is in your path (and then Cntl-D to exit python).

P.S. How did you install rdiff-backup?
